The saga of the right color for the new kitchen flooring continued this week. A couple of days ago John the Floor Guy came by when we weren't home to put a couple more patches of stain where the refridgerator will sit. We weren't sold on either one.
This morning Mike stops by with three cans of stain and a 12 foot piece of flooring. He gets down on his hands and knees to try different combinations. First he applied a coat of Golden Oak. Too light. Then he applied a second coat. Almost! Then he added Sedona Red. Interesting! This combination matched the heart pine boards but was too red for most of the floor. Mike suggests that John the Floor Guy should apply two coats of Golden Oak; then Mike will come in and apply Sedona Red randomly to replicate the old floor and after that, he'll add some dark stain here and there to simulate the wear and tear of 93 years.
What a guy!
